Midlife Mavericks - Living Life Happy, Healthy, Sexy & Strong

How would you live your life differently? That's what my guest, Jodi Wellman, Founder of Four Thousand Mondays, talks about in this episode.

Four thousand Mondays is, on average, how many Mondays we have to live and no, that's not meant to be scary or depressing. Just the opposite actually. Jodi wants everyone to live life to the fullest and experience as much happiness as possible within this time. She is a coach, author, and keynote speaker and has a Masters of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania where she studied with the world’s top researchers on happiness and what makes life worth living.

On her site you'll find a free quiz, "How Alive (or Dead) Are You?" (take it, it's good!)

Some of the things we talked about in this episode:

- Reframing the word midlife "crisis."

- Living a life of YES.

- The life changes a person makes after a brush with death.

- Why human contact matters.

In today's episode we're talking about how to end the "polite girl syndrome." You know what I'm talking about - the all too common habit of not advocating for our needs, or demanding what we're worth, or going with the flow even when it's not what we want.

This happens in our personal and professional lives. In fact, according to several studies, 60% of women have never negotiated their salary and 72% would leave their job before asking for a raise!

It's time we put our big girl pants on and start asking for what we want.

In this episode I'm going to give you the 4 things you should do in order to be more self-confident and get what you want in any situation.

Not only did her daughter raise $2,000 for her fundraiser but it was the impetus for Andi to leave her executive-level job in tech and start Good Things Organics with her daughter. The company makes organic fragrance and skin-care products that are clean and naturally sourced and can now be found in high-end spas and hotels around Canada and the United States.

I absolutely fell in love with their fragrances and thoroughly enjoyed my chat with Andi.

Here are a few things we covered:

- The challenges and joys of having her teenaged daughter as her business partner.

- Finding a team of women who complimented her talents to build the company.

- How she's overcoming her fear of scaling the business

- What she wants every woman in midlife to understand about following her dream.

Twitter wars, flaming, trash talking  - publicizing anger and resentment towards someone online either outright or through veiled comments is an everyday occurrence now.

Letting everyone know what a S%&T your ex-spouse or friend is and everything he/she did to you might feel good at first but ultimately it doesn't allow you to let the emotions go and move forward.  Plus, it's really not classy.

In this episode I'm talking about:

- Healthy ways to deal with your feelings of anger, resentment and grief.

- The importance of forgiving yourself as well as the other person.

- Why women stay in relationships that are unhealthy.

- The exact sentences to use to end a toxic friendship.

Dara Goldberg is on a mission to help dispell the myths and misconceptions about midlife, especially the narrative driven by the beauty industry about anti-aging.
